Abstract:
Liver fibrosis is the important stage of most liver diseases, and early and accurate diagnosis of classification of liver fibrosis plays an important role in developing individualized treatment regimens and reducing mortality rates. Ultrasound elastography has become popular in clinical physicians due to its unique advantages. This article compares the accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of transient elastography, acoustic radiation force impulse elastography, real-time shear wave elastography, and real-time tissue elastography in the diagnosis of classification of liver fibrosis and helps to enhance clinical physicians′ knowledge of advantages and shortcomings of various ultrasound elastography methods in the diagnosis of classification of liver fibrosis.
